[edit] History
Though Littleton had a booming beginning, the community never incorporated, remaining forever a small town on a side road between Independence and Jesup. Littleton was platted in 1855 by Moses Little and Chatham was platted by Dr. Robert W. Wright. Chatham is in section 10 of Perry Township with Littleton just on the other side in section 9. The post office changed names from Chatham to Littleton in the 1880's. This area is generally referred to as Littleton.
